If those younger players consistently lose to fat old LP players with only one step footwork on their good days, then let those young players cry a river and complain about it on youtube and internet table tennis forums until such a time that they actually train, adapt, and overcome..

Yes, the slower, larger and newer gen of ABS ball makes it real damn easy to do a lot of things related to attacking under or top spin... so we see much more BH flipping strong, much more countering of that flip, and more countering of that counter... this newer ball makes it easier to do that...

I use what is by modern stanadrs somewhat slow equipment.... and still play hard and fast and spinny AF with that stuff with a total price less than a single sheet of diginiski. OFF- Wood blade OLD-AZZ ESN rubber, prolly 5 gens old in both mid firm and soft sponge WITHOUT tuning. You can ask...

Does it matter? Can anyone tune it like Sergey the Tsos? Everyone should ask him. #Sign-up Sergey

Hi @longle , At the top elite amateur levels and the pro levels, the ABS ball construction and larger size have made it to where at those levels, you need to blast and counter blast progressively closer and closer to table. This ball makes it incredibly easier to make spin vs underspin...

Uhm, complain about long pips players ?? No, I have been around long enough everywhere and on OOAK and everyone knows I fight for defensive play styles too. I try to do the right things a few weeks out for a major tourney goal. The less important tourneys, I just try to sync rest, hydration...

I would argue that time invested on a repeatable compact stroke at the table is way worth more than going slow all the time or afraid to hit hard. I think @dingyibvs will develop into one of those adult players who can play fast repeatedly in rallies with spin and not be afraid. I really...

I need to introduce you to my friend Ali who i help out... he now has 4-6 of the 968 and is very happy with them. It is hiz funds and anyone can use their funds for any lawful and moral purpose without any harassment from Der_Echte. Actually, if you get his age and have a good occupation...

YES. I also play with and recommend control oriented offensive rubbers... which by modern standards (say compared to latest gen esn or diginiskis) are called allround rubbers. The rubber I use, Tibhar Aurus has been around forever and does everything well, but not world beater in a single area...

Ah... so you did sum SPAZIEREN before match day. Good deal.

Der_Echte calls it oldazzitis.

The diginiski rubbers all require a faster bat with more body commitment and a different impact to get potential out of them... I do not do that on most of my impacts and do not want to change how I play or train for months to do a shot i do not use even 1/2 the time.

This part here from KJH vid that NL inked in previous post (and an excellent instruction vid for approaches to BH topspin) at 10:36 is discussing how to be at the table and hit down the line short side of table to opponent's open FH line... You could use your wrist to adjust, but that is...

Things are easier when one softens up, goes for less power... but going for power, the position, leverage, timing, setting and execution of the strike zone all need to be real good or it falls apart. You may or may not yet have heard this from your adult coach, but next time I run into you I...

That is one of the areas that has been building homes for the last several years and is now taking shape a little... Baseline still undergoing reshaping, but they will get it done sometime. I live 3-4 miles north of you... I could ride the e-bike and get to your place is 10 min or so. I have a...

I would have to be present and see with my own eyes to be able to say anything definitive. Good chance he isn't allowing the ball to come to his strike zone or is positioned a little too far back.

You do not need ridiculous money for bat, get anything wood all+ to OFF that fits your hand. The bat in my sig... blade is under $30 USD and is well suited for a beginner or advanced player. It doesn't need to be over complicated. try for softer control oriented modern rubber MED firm at the...

Hi Blahness... Try this. Take a step to the ball with whatever leg/foot. Extend bat out a little, keep arm bent some. backswing only a little... actually you are doing this as a part of getting bat out there a little... use a short stroke pushed off with the foot some... LOOSEN THE GRIP... and...
